Material design isn't very suitable for the desktop web... and I'm not even sure it will work on mobile but let's hope it will.
Firstly, it's too constraining, too specific, this style could get pretty boring and bland if every app uses it. And for lots of apps (and majority of webs), different spacing, structure, etc. is optimal – forcing them to use a different spacing would lead to worsened usability and ugliness.
Secondly, the animations can get annoying and distracting quickly.
- mattei 12y agoI couldn't word it better, and when Material design was first announced I was excited. The style will get boring quick if a large number of web apps use it. Then people will start straying from the guidelines to try differentiate. Yes, most of the animations feel unnecessary. I can't find any complex UI examples. Really want to see what it looks like when there are more than a few elements.
